   5842 Amperex USA Gold Pins

   417A/5842 Western Electric

   5842 Raytheon


   Which one would be your pick & why ? Sonic differences ?

  It will be used in  EL84 PP, ECC88/6922 SRPP in input stage and 5842 in phase inversion stage with IC recification  amp.

  Thanks

Steve

I remember there was only one brand that had minimal microphonics, unless I got a bad batch years ago. But I cannot remember which brand it was, I think either Amperex or Ratheons.

Cheers.
